This is a watercolor that I painted a few years ago. It is an abstract landscape called Prairie, Bright. I gave it to my friend Carolyn, as a thank you for her help in printing my first cookbook. I used to do watercolor, watercolor-and-ink, and watercolor mixed media paintings – that is until I took up food photography for the book. Since then, whenever I have ten minutes to spare, I am off photographing something or another. One of these days, I’ll get back to painting. I had thought about entering this image into the Weekly Photography Challenge since the theme this week is to take a picture of something you have created. The painting itself, though, is more interesting than the photo of it. So, the challenge is still on. Will I be able to come up with an idea and an image?

Very beautiful, Laurie! Hope you’ll get back to painting soon.
Thanks for the kind words and encouragement, Amy!

This is such a beautiful painting! You should definitely take up painting again when you get a chance – you have a real talent for it. I like oil painting but, for some reason, have always had a lot of difficulty with water colors so I really admire your talent.
You are very kind. I am pleased that you like the painting. I have never tried oil painting. My maternal grandmother was an oil painter, though. She did majestic seascapes.
